Falls Village

FALLS VILLAGE — Housatonic Valley Regional High School has 19 seniors enrolled in a yearlong class to produce the school’s yearbook.
The students gave a presentation to the Region One Board of Education March 7. Morgan Lamb, one of the yearbook co-editors, told the board the yearbook will be published in August and said this is the first time in recent memory when there has been a complete staff.
“It’s a lot more than just looking at pictures,” she said. “We have to use our communication skills, leadership skills, we have to make sure things get done on time.”

The Lakeville Journal congratulates the honorees of the student of the week program at Housatonic Valley Regional High School.

FALLS VILLAGE — There have been bleak moments in recent weeks, when it felt like the snow would never stop and the ice would never melt. Certainly, the calendar promised that the first day of spring would be March 20. But for many Northwest Corner residents, the best reassurance that spring is here and warm weather will finally return comes in the form of the annual Tri-State Chamber of Commerce “Buy Local” trade festival, held annually at Housatonic Valley Regional High School.
